So I set the boys to work today making fruit loop wreaths for the tree. This serves two purposes: 1) It gives the boys something new to do to get the creative juices flowing!!! 2) When they're done I've got something to use to fill in all the bare spots on my Christmas tree. (Actually Liston would say it has a 3rd purpose of feeding him an afternoon snack. He snarfed down about half the box of fruit loops!!)
Anyway, you'd think after almost 7 years of marriage I'd have accumulated a load of Christmas decor but alas my house is still a little sparse! But that's where all the fun comes in of making playdough ornaments and stringing popcorn. My decorations would probably make Martha Stewart cringe but I love em--and the little hands that made them :)
